Can you show me the stitching on yours? There is a slight upward angle to the stitching...but I'm unsure as to how much of an 'upward' rise there should be per stitch. Thanks
as for the other one on Ebay, I don't know, I would ask about the blind stamp, the string used on this wallet matches the leather and the leather looks better than your wallet. But I can't tell if it is authentic.
the 'hype' is that every hermes piece is beautiful a work of art, because of your questioning I really started to look closely to the stitching and now I even more appreciate it even. I really advise you to get your piece authenticated. The pictures (it could be just bad pictures) what bothers me is the stiching, not fine, the leather is uneven 'cut' (not a straight line) and the missing blindstamp.
I made a ZOOOM close up of the stichting of one pocket so this is 2,5 by 3 real size, if I look at it I think it is so divine and I just do no have that looking at your pictures.
I sure would have wished that you had enclosed your sellers info, it would have helped us.
